When it costs to make or recieve an International call.

Findout how much it costs to use your mobile abroad.

As a 3 customer, you can exchange messages with international networks only when 3 has signed an SMS (or MMS) agreement with that particular network.

If an agreement is in place, you can send messages to, and receive messages from, anyone on that network, including UK mobile users who are roaming on that network.
If an agreement is not in place, 3 customers will not be able to receive messages from, or send messages to, that network.
Agreements are with individual networks, and not countries. In some countries, 3 will not have agreements with all operating networks. Please check above for detailed country/network agreements.
Due to the complexities involved with international interconnects between networks, we cannot always guarantee the success of messages sent to, or from international networks.
